SUMMARY:Public lecture Edward Tufte

DESCRIPTION:The University of Twente will award an
  honorary doctorate to Edward Tufte, on the occasi
 on of the 55th Dies Natalis of the university, Nov
 ember 25 2016. While Tufte is in Enschede he is wi
 lling to share his thoughts and visions on informa
 tion design with us.  Edward Tufte has been an ins
 piring example for many active in information visu
 alization, data visualization and geovisualization
 , and has stimulated cartographers and others to r
 e-think design. In making his point Tufte is often
  using ’classic’ graphics and maps such as John Sn
 ow's cholera outbreak map, and Charles Joseph Mina
 rd's Carte Figurative (Napoleon’s invasion of Russ
 ia in 1812). Tufte’s comments on Minard’s map chal
 lenged Menno-Jan Kraak, the honorary promotor, to 
 write a book on mapping time using Minard’s map as
  a common thread throughout the book.  Tufte’s car
 eer not only inspired geodata visualizers at ITC, 
 but also impersonates developments among the publi
 c administration scientists of BMS. This reflects 
 the interests of both Faculties: High Tech (data a
 nalytics and visualization)and Human Touch (inform
 ed public decision-making).  Attendance is free of
  charge for the general public, but places are lim
 ited and registration is required.
